Deviator Wind Vest - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I use the Deviator Wind Vest on early morning runs and high-output hikes—it's the perfect layer when I need wind protection without sacrificing breathability. The mapped fabric zones really make a difference when I’m pushing the pace."

When we're pushing the pace on breezy ridgelines or knocking out trail miles in variable weather, we reach for the Outdoor Research Deviator Wind Vest. Built with hybrid-mapped construction, this ultralight layer combines windproof protection up front with breathable stretch panels at the shoulders, collar, and back—keeping us shielded from gusts while letting heat and moisture escape where it counts most.

Crafted from bluesign® approved materials and made with 92% recycled nylon, the Deviator Wind Vest is as mindful as it is functional. The trim, movement-friendly fit stays close to the body without restricting motion, and UPF 30 sun protection guards against UV exposure during high-elevation efforts. With a trio of zippered pockets and interior drop-ins for storing gloves or fuel, plus reflective details for low-light visibility, it’s a reliable go-to when every ounce and every second matters.
